Wheel lash in rearWheel lash in front

Vehicle Shipping ManualJanuary 2019, Version 8

Guidelines for Haulaway Transport:

• Strap/Soft tie securement only on these models.

• SLOW speed is essential because this is a low profile model.

Guidelines for Rail Transport:

• Loading is restricted to Tri-level railcars, unless authorization is given by FCA US /

Mexico Logistics to load on Bi-level’s. If loading on a Bi-level the front chock height

should be set in the low position and the rear chock in the high position to maintain two

inches of clearance between the chock and the closest point on the vehicle.

• Vehicles are to be uniformly positioned on decks (A = 6, B = 7, C = 7) to maximize

the distance between vehicles and between vehicles and end doors.

• A minimum of 3” is required between vehicles and 5” between vehicle end doors.

• A minimum 3” roof clearance must be maintained.

• Position the vehicle on Tri-levels with tires no closer to the tie-down rail than half an

inch (½”). Optimal spacing is 1-2”, no further than 3”.

• Spotter is required on A-Deck and B-deck when the chock tie-down track is on right side of vehicle

to assist/guide driver to position vehicle for proper securement application and prevent

vehicles tire/rims from contact/rubbing against chock tie-down track.

• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted

clearance between door and side panel.

• SLOW speed is essential when loading and unloading if damage is to be avoided to

undercarriage/front fascia as this is a low clearance vehicle.

Special Cautionary Notes:

• There is a notably tight clearance between securement devices and the unit.

• The tire width to unload through a railcar and over the bridge plates is very tight. See above picture for reference. Also, due to the width of

the tires, on some older Tri-level railcars the unit can rub up against the inner chock rail causing possible tire damage. Please be aware of this

while loading and unloading.

• SLOW speed is essential because this is a low profile model.

Guidelines for Rail Transport:

• Loading is restricted to Bi-level railcars.

• A minimum of 3” roof clearance must be maintained.

• A minimum of 3” is required between vehicles and 5” between vehicle

and end doors to allow for a load factor of 6 / deck and to maintain adequate

spacing. This is very critical, as there is no room for error.

• Vehicles are to be uniformly positioned on decks (A = 6, B = 6) to maximize

the distance between vehicles and between vehicles and end doors.

• Front and rear chocks must be placed in the high setting.

• All chocks must be carefully positioned from the side of the vehicle, never

from the front (see photo).

• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted

clearance between door and side panel.

• Do not exceed 5 mph / 8 kmh speed limit when loading and unloading and utilize caution

inside the railcar to avoid damage.

This form outlines the mandatory handling, loading and securing standards for safety and damage free handling when transporting these

vehicles by rail or truck. There is a HIGH potential for vehicle damage if this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Loading and Securing is

not followed.

Guidelines for Haulaway Transport:

• Strap/Soft tie securement only.

• Make sure all decks are as level as possible to prevent rocker panel and / or front

fascia damage.

• Properly set skid position to prevent front fascia damage.

• SLOW speed is essential because this is a low profile model.

Guidelines for Rail Transport:

• Loading is restricted to Bi-level railcars.

• A minimum of 3” roof clearance must be maintained.

• Units must be positioned 3” bumper to bumper and 5” between bumper

and end door to allow for a load factor of 6 / deck and to maintain

adequate spacing. This is very critical, as there is no room for error.

• Front and rear chocks must be placed in the high setting.

• All chocks must be carefully positioned from the side of the vehicle, never

from the front (see photo).

• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted

clearance between door and side panel.

• Do not exceed 5 mph / 8 kmh speed limit when loading and unloading and utilize

caution inside the railcar to avoid damage.

This form outlines the mandatory handling, loading and securing standards for safety and damage free handling when transporting these

vehicles by rail or truck. There is a HIGH potential for vehicle damage if this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Loading and Securing is

not followed.
